These days, it seems like there’s a holiday for just about everything–however, who could deny the privilege to the mighty (yet delicate) egg? That’s right: Eggs have their own holiday now. Coming up on June 3, prepare to celebrate National Egg Day with our egg-tastic gift picks that act as an homage to the rich protein content, sunny color, elegant shape, and fertile symbolism of the egg!
That said, when celebrating Egg Day, don’t get so reverent that you’re afraid to break a few–after all, you have to break a couple eggs to make a delicious omelet!
